Supporting Cannabis Businesses Across California

California has long been at the center of the cannabis industry, but operating a cannabis business here has never been simple. From Los Angeles dispensaries to Bay Area retailers and Emerald Triangle cultivators, the business of cannabis in California faces overlapping state and local regulations. Be the excise tax administered by the CDTFA, 280E exposure, cash-intensive operations, and changing compliance expectations, California cannabis operators face challenges most businesses never encounter. And that’s where Verdant’s expertise lies.

Operational Support Built for Cannabis Operators

Most accounting firms focus on bookkeeping and tax filings. Verdant focuses on helping cannabis operators understand the business behind the numbers, the kind of industry-specific insight that traditional firms, and even seasoned California CPAs without plant-touching experience, often overlook.

Our team works closely with California cannabis businesses to strengthen accounting processes, improve financial reporting, support compliance efforts, and create systems that help leadership teams make better decisions. From day-to-day financial management to long-term planning, we provide the operational and financial support cannabis operators need to navigate a complex industry.
